The solstice approaches, and with it comes the countdown to that holiest of holidays. And it hasn't taken long for our small annual custom to become a yearly tradition.
Hark, hither and yon, as we announce the 4th Chipmas. a community event celebrating the humblest of snacks, the potato chip.
In previous years, Vaat Brewery, who are our best friends and have the best venue in Tallinn, have hosted the event. This year they will be passing the torch to Heldeke! Who are our best friends and have the best venue in Tallinn!
All are welcome and encouraged to join, but for those who have not joined in the past we have but a few simple commandments handed down to us from our crispy lord on high.
1) Participation in Chipmas is free to all, but all must provide chips for the feast.
2) Chipmas is a celebration of the wild, unique and rare (and sometimes grotesque). Skip the chips at the supermarket. The harder to find and weirder the better!
eg - Sour Cream and Onion from Selver ❌️
Goat Cream and Rhodesian Onion from Zimbabwe ✅️
3) We don't believe the chip is limited to the humble potato and welcome all denominations into our flock. At Chipmas, we will consider any crispy, savoury snack a "Chip" (corn, barley, Sea W**d.)
4) Dips are not a requirement, but are welcome.
5) Home-made chips are not only welcome, but encouraged!
Each Chipmas has broken the previous record for attendance, unique chip packets, and countries of origin. We expect no less from this year.
Get searching, look far and wide, expand your horizons and start stockpiling those chips. We look forward to seeing you all again.
